The Madam was also looking forward to the new members of the Underworld Fire. After all, she really liked such a cute and beautiful daughter, especially the tiny and incredibly adorable Theresa. She wished she could hold her and dote on her twenty-four hours a day.

"Wow, I didn't expect you, Sampo, to actually show up."

March 7th's surprised voice came from behind the Madam. Bronya, March 7th, Stelle, Theresa, and Dan Heng, who was behind them, came down the stairs.

"Of course, Sampo always keeps his promises. Getting beaten up really hurts!"

Sampo said, his voice trembling slightly as he felt a phantom pain in his backside.

"If you hadn't backstabbed us time and time again, why would we have laid a hand on you? You only have yourself to blame!"

Theresa glared at Sampo and shouted. The Madam agreed with Theresa's words. After all, Sampo was the most mischievous among the Underworld Fire. He was actually in a partnership with the Underworld Fire, and his specialty was business. His favorite thing to do was to make a profit without any investment. After all, even sourcing goods cost money.

"Come, come, my daughters, this is the breakfast the Madam prepared for you. You can eat with us too, young man."

The Madam called out to the girls with a cheerful smile.

She gently stroked Theresa's head. Theresa endured the Madam's strong hand ruffling her hair with a helpless expression.

{Should I get a knife? Heh~}

"Theresa looks so well-behaved like this, so cute!"

March 7th said, watching Theresa being happily patted by the Madam. The others agreed that Theresa did look very cute.

"None of your business. Eat your breakfast."

Theresa, blushing, was being fed by the Madam in her arms and shouted. She couldn't understand why the Madam was so good to her.

"Alright, alright, let's eat breakfast!"

Stelle quickly grabbed some black bread and salt soda icebergs and started eating. Dan Heng held a bowl of mixed vegetable soup and drank it slowly. March 7th picked up a crispy fried rock crab and ate it with relish. Theresa was being fed grilled salamander meat by the Madam. Her small face was flushed as the Madam fed her. The Madam doted on her so much that she felt a little embarrassed.

Or rather, the most important reason was that Theresa had been an orphan and had never experienced anyone treating her like a daughter like the Madam did. This made Theresa enjoy the Madam's affection with a sense of anticipation and nostalgia.

"That's enough, Madam, I'm full."

Theresa, blushing, jumped down from the Madam's arms. The Madam cheerfully handed her a napkin to wipe her mouth.

"It feels just like a doting mother treating her daughter!"

March 7th whispered to Stelle. Stelle looked at March 7th blankly, then nodded in agreement as she continued to eat. She was a Stellaron Essence who hadn't been born long ago; she had no emotions and didn't understand these things.

As for Dan Heng, he watched Theresa interact with the Madam with a calm expression, lost in thought.

Bronya smiled, watching the adorable Theresa seem to be acting spoiled with the Madam. After all, seeing cute things could heal a weary heart.

"Everyone, this way, Leader Oleg is waiting for you."

Sampo was the first to walk out of the inn, a fawning smile on his face as he prepared to lead the way.

After a while, everyone, full and satisfied, said goodbye to the Madam and followed Sampo, who was leading them.

They followed Sampo through winding alleys, attracting curious glances from some people. Finally, they arrived at a hidden location: the back of a tavern with a platform. Some members of the Underworld Fire, along with Seele and a mature, white-haired uncle, stood in front of the platform.

"Leader Oleg, my mission is complete!"

"I've brought them. I won't intrude, I'll be going now!"

The moment Sampo saw Seele smiling at him with her scythe, his scalp tingled, and he shouted. Seele narrowed her eyes, ready to teach him a lesson with her scythe, as he scrambled to escape.

Seele was angry that Sampo would even harm his own people. The information she received was that Sampo himself had taken off the Iron Cavalry Garrison Officer's armor, a completely risk-free transaction. And this guy actually sold it to Oleg for a thousand Belobog Shields, making a profit of a thousand Belobog Shields – a hundred percent profit!

This was why Seele wanted to attack Sampo. This is how it should be— awkward "You can't leave, Sampo. Explain things properly first. And you too, Seele. Girls shouldn't always be shouting about fighting. Who would dare marry you if you keep this up?"

Oleg said to Seele with a wry smile. Seele snorted dismissively. If he wanted to chase her, fine. He had to be able to beat her first!

"Sigh, you were so cute when you were little. You've been led astray."

Oleg looked at Seele, who was holding her scythe, and sighed helplessly.

"Huh? Leader Oleg, my mission is complete. I brought them all here, so this has nothing to do with me anymore, right?"

Sampo complained to Oleg with a distressed expression.

"You know them better. They're wanted by Cocolia from above, right?"

Oleg asked Sampo, who quickly nodded.

"Yes, I was involved for most of it. Cocolia changed her mind so quickly. Everything was fine, and then yesterday she suddenly turned hostile."

Sampo told Oleg. Bronya lowered her head dejectedly, feeling a bit guilty. She hadn't expected things to escalate to this point.

"Hello, everyone. I am Oleg, the leader of the Underworld Fire. I am also a retired Silvermane Guard. This is why I paid a high price for the armor Sampo acquired. Most importantly, with this armor, the old man can still exert some effort to help everyone fight those Abyss Monsters."

Oleg introduced himself to the Stellaron Hunters and Bronya.

"Hello! My name is March 7th!"

March 7th greeted Oleg with a smile. The girl's clear and innocent smile brought a hint of a smile to his stern face.

"Hello, Leader Oleg. I am Dan Heng."

Dan Heng said calmly to Oleg. His composed demeanor and direct gaze made Oleg realize that this person was quite suspicious. He nodded in acknowledgment.

"My name is Bronya, Leader Oleg."

Bronya instinctively started to use Iron Cavalry etiquette but was nudged by Theresa, who tapped her on the butt. The girl immediately realized her mistake and only stated her name. She had almost revealed that she was the commander of the Iron Cavalry, as she had rarely lied since childhood.

Theresa's unnatural expression, coupled with the Iron Cavalry's posture of instinctively puffing out her chest, made Oleg narrow his eyes. However, he noticed that the Underworld Fire members around them didn't expose Bronya.

"Hello there, Leader Oleg, my name is Theresa."

Theresa introduced herself, looking at Oleg, who was staring at her with surprise.

"Little girl, you must be young. What's happening here isn't suitable for a cutie like you to get involved in."

Oleg looked at the cute Theresa with a gentle expression and chuckled, mistaking her for a twelve or thirteen-year-old girl.

"Pfft!"

Sampo couldn't hold back a laugh, and the Stellaron Hunters and Bronya also stifled their laughter, watching Theresa's face darken.

Too many memes, let's post a sad one. Crying Kiki-cat.
